PURCHASING AT A GLANCE is
a powerful, user friendly, affordable purchasing software
system designed by purchasing agents to help manage the department
functions with greater ease and efficiency. PURCHASING AT
A GLANCE provides features, functions, and tools to facilitate
the distribution, ordering and billing of supplies and services
to cost centers. The program includes requisitioning, quote
generation, purchase orders, receiving and distributing, all
in one package, unlike many expensive modular systems.
Our primary goal is to provide our clients with the tools
necessary to help purchasing personnel make informed buying
decisions that result in lower operating costs and maximum
savings. The day-to-day operation of the program provides
information to assist in this objective through numerous
reports such as: stock histories, purchased items, departmental
billing, vendor performance and many more. All of these
are available at the click of a mouse.
Data from the Purchased Items Report and the Departmental
Billing Report can be exported to an ASCII text file to
provide accurate daily or periodic information to most accounts
payable or general ledger programs. The database tables
are accessible through many "off the shelf" programs.
PURCHASING AT A GLANCE runs in the Windows 3.1, Windows
95-98, and Windows NT operating systems. The data tables
may be used on a stand-alone PC or in a network environment.
Many networks including Novell, Windows NT and LANtastic,
are supported. Multiple users with various security levels
can be set up providing restricted access to selected data.
Our menu-driven format makes PURCHASING AT A GLANCE very
easy to use. Even the novice computer user will find it
easy to learn and use.
Distribute requested items to each department with unparalleled
efficiency. The stock catalog incorporates numerous search
options, while note fields facilitate greater communication.
Delivery Lists can be easily generated. The system automatically
places an item on back orders when requests exceed current
inventory. A purchase order may be generated for back ordered
items with the click of a button. These items are routed
to the correct department when they are received. Department
usage and billing reports can be generated for all items
distributed.
Keep a perpetual inventory of stock items. The system automatically
adjusts inventory levels as items are received and distributed.
The total inventory size and value is always available on
a FIFO basis.
The Automatic Reorder screen immediately generates an alert
when stock items fall below their reorder level. A purchase
order can then be generated with the click of a button.
The system will even calculate a reorder level and quantity
based on usage and defined criteria.
